  • The title was changed to Just Picked Up A Very Nice Tesoro Lobo

Adjust the ground balance on the board in disc and you will gain quite a bit more depth. You can a little negative that is Monte's power balancing I sure you know. I adjusted my gb in all metal and it's to hot in disc. It's one my favorites.

Keith Southern has a youtube video showing one he adjusted.

The original Lobo would be interesting. It has an external ground balance. I wouldn't mind finding one of those.

Is it the original Lobo of Dave J's?

We only ever see Supertraq in England. Never seen the original, a special tool.

Jealous!

Their original 20 kHz Lobo was designed by Tesoro founder Jack Gifford. Dave Johnson designed the 17.5 kHz Lobo SuperTRAQ, totally different detector, different coils.

The original Lobo had an adjustable ground balance in all metal mode, but the disc mode was preset internally. This made the machine less effective at nugget hunting while in disc mode. The SuperTRAQ solved this by running in ground tracking in all metal mode, then when you switched to disc mode it locked in the last ground balance setting taken from the all metal mode. So with the ST you always wanted to ground balance first in all metal before switching to disc mode.

That's good to know on the Lobo ground balance. I'll just use my Lobo ST then.
